The book begins by chronicling the life of a small town boy growing up in the idyllic “Happy Days” of the nineteen forties and fifties with all the entertainment and good stories so implied. Then, with wit, humor and a bit of practical philosophy, step by step, the author reveals the influences, family, friends and other circumstances, that all worked to change a largely drifting life into a productive, happy and successful one. This is truly a one of a kind book that not only entertains, but also has valuable lessons to impart to people of all ages.
